In case you haven’t noticed, the old Kindle DX with Sprint wireless network has been discontinued. Amazon has been planning to take Kindle DX international for a while now, and the new year was the best chance to do it. Now you can use your Kindle DX around the globe with the help of AT&T’s global network.

Should you get Kindle DX international? Not if you are planning to spend a whole lot of time inside the U.S. Of course, you won’t really have the choice to pick up the old Kindle DX unless you don’t mind picking up a used device. Considering that Kindle 3 may be soon out, you may want to spend your money on that.

If Kindle 2.0 wasn’t great already, it got much better as Amazon has announced an international version of Kindle 2 that allows you to download and connect to the Internet whether you are in the U.S. or in foreign countries covered by AT&T’s network. In addition, Amazon has dropped its price on Kindle 2 as well. Kindle 2.0 international which is going for $279 on Amazon will make a great gadget for those who are into international travel. So whether you are an executive of a multi-national company or just want to take a trip to Europe, you are going to be able to download books and read them while you are on the go.

Unlike Kindle 2.0 US edition, Kindle 2.0 international uses AT&T’s wireless network, but everything else works the same way. There are a few fees that are associated with international downloads, but that’s a small price to pay for having the ability to download books on the go all around the world.
